1/4
c

Vanilla extract 1
c
Flour,
less 1 Tbsp
1/8
ts
Baking powder 1/2
c
Chunky chocolate pieces
. (see NOTE) 1/4
c
Pecan halves,
roasted
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar in bowl of heavy-duty electric mixer until
light and creamy. Beat in vanilla. Add flour and baking powder and
beat just until mixed. Mix in chocolate pieces and pecans. Dough will
be firm.
2. Shape into 6 or 7 lemon-sized balls. Arrange 3 inches apart on
ungreased baking sheet. Using palm of hand flatten each cookie to
1/2- inch thickness.
3. Bake cookies at 300 degrees until faintly browned at edges, about
45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
Note: It's essential to use the best-quality chocolate available for
these cookies. I recommend buying 1 (3-ounce) bar of semisweet
chocolate and breaking it into bite-size pieces.
